CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people so I can take my band Ishtar on the road!

ABOUT ME

I am a musician, I play clarinet in my band Ishtar that plays music for bellydancing. My boyfriend Jeff and I have been together over 15 years. I have an arcane sense of humor. I am an independent traveler and do not require a tour guide. I work in the same hospital I was born in. I am 3rd generation in the same house. I love my family's history and I am proud to be a Pittsburgher!

PHILOSOPHY

Just because I am an adult does not mean I have to grow up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
